OREANDA-NEWS. November 14, 2008. The total daily production from the Salym oil fields in Western Siberia, developed by Salym Petroleum Development N.V. (SPD), has reached 140,000 bopd (over 19,200 tonne per day), reported the press-centre of Salym Petroleum.

SPD CEO Harry Brekelmans, commenting on the announcement, said: ”Since October 2007, when SPD reached a 100,000 bopd milestone, we have continued increasing production volume in a systematic way by putting on stream new wells and optimizing production processes.

Over this period, our daily production went up 1.4 times, which took us to the current benchmark of 140,000 bopd. We have produced over 37 million barrels (over 5 million tonnes) of oil year-to-date, which is more than 20% increase on our total oil production last year. SPD is steadily moving forward to its goal of becoming one of the best operating companies in Siberia.”
